On the occasion of the 553rd Anniversary of Nicolaus Copernicus’s Birth the Copernican Academy, in collaboration with the “Science. I Like It.” Foundation invites you to listen to discussions on two Copernican fields:
economics and astronomy.
Discussions between members of the Copernican Academy and Dr. Tomasz Rożek, have been prepared in two parts:
March – Economic Debate
April – Astronomical Debate
Nicolaus Copernicus and Our Wallets
Economic Debate
This is a unique opportunity to learn that the man known for “stopping the Sun and setting the Earth in motion” was primarily concerned with finance and management. And his treatise titled “The minting of coin”, which saved the treasury of the Crown of Both Nations in the 16th century, continues to shape our reality today as Kopernik-Gresham’s Law (the repression of good money by bad): from the wallet of the average Pole to global markets and cryptocurrencies.
If you would like to get to know Nicolaus Copernicus from this lesser-known perspective, we cordially invite you to watch the debate on the “Nauka to lubię” channel, in which Dr. Tomasz Rożek speaks with members of the Chamber of Economics and Management of the Copernican Academy:
Dr. Mariusz Andrzejewski and Prof. Dariusz Tworzydło.
The conversation touches on many interesting topics, ranging from ethics in state governance to the impact of artificial intelligence on our financial security.
Here are some of them:
● Is today’s zloty “good” or “bad” money? When do politicians’ decisions start to threaten our savings?
● Cryptocurrencies and Copernicus – what would the astronomer say about Bitcoin? Do the old rules of economics also apply in the world of cryptocurrencies?
● Bad money or bad information—which is the greater enemy today? Could a lack of reliable knowledge cost us more than inflation?
What do you think:
➢ In the age of digitalization, is Copernicus’s call for sound, stable money still relevant?
➢ Has technology already allowed us to replace the old laws of economics?
